Shoe Quickie: @AminahJillil

Bow Pump. $195. Aminah Abdul Jillil.

So about a month ago one of the dolls I follow on IG had posted a photo of shoes I immediately swooned over. Unfortch, she misspelled the designer's name in the hashtag and I had no idea who it was. But I did screenshot the pic on my phone so I could remember. Well...during fashion week, another blogger posted a pic of her wearing the shoes (in the color to the right) and I was like Finally! I am a step closer to the designer. Ok, so not the way to make a long story short. Meet Aminah Abdul Jillil. She is the shoe genius behind her namesake brand. This Alaskan bred beauty was also a dancer in LA, dancing for entertainment titans like Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and others. Well, she took her inspiration from everything she saw and was culturally exposed to and created these shoe beauties. I am obsessed with her Bow Pumps. They are just really pretty. And with a 5" heel, they are just the right amount of sugar and spice and everything nice. Isn't that what all shoes should be made of?

And these cuff flats are gorge because you get the edge without the heel. I love how she took elements from the pump and created two different shoes from it. Stay tuned for the flats because they are coming soon.
